Geospatialmethods.org is maintained at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder Colorado. While some of the work we do is motivated by the unique needs of the cryospheric science community, we think that our solutions are generally applicable and could be useful outside that community. Moreover, we wanted to create and share our material as references for the kind of information we wished we had access to when we were starting some of these projects.
We hope geospatialmethods.org can serve as a portal, repository, or some combination of the two, for methods, techniques, and software that are generally applicable to the earth science research community. We encourage potential collaborators and contributors to contact us.
Mary Jo
Brodzik is an Associate Scientist at the National Snow and Ice
Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of Colorado at Boulder,
Colorado. She received a Bachelors of Arts, Summa cum laude, in
Mathematics from Fordham University in 1987. Her experience includes
software development, validation and verification on Defense Department
satellite command and control and satellite tracking systems. She has
implemented software to produce and analyze various passive microwave
products at NSIDC, including developing optimization algorithms for the
SSM/I EASE-Grid Pathfinder operational software that incorporates
Backus-Gilbert interpolation, and algorithms to combine snow and sea ice
data from a variety of visible and microwave satellite imagery. Her
research interests include passive microwave remote sensing of snow. She
is a member of IEEE and the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Society.
Kenneth W. Knowles worked as an Associate Scientist at the
National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for
Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of
Colorado at Boulder, Colorado. He received a Bachelors of Science in
Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado in 1983. His
experience includes software development for satellite remote sensing,
numerical modeling, scientific visualization, cartography, photogrammetry,
image processing, expert systems design, and real-time programming for
embedded systems.
Ross S. Swick worked as an Associate Scientist at the National
Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for Research in
Environmental Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of Colorado at
Boulder, Colorado. He received a Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics from
St. Olaf College in 1985 and a Masters of Science in Mathematics from the
University of Illinois in 1989. His experience includes interface
development for data search and order and algorithm development for
spatial area comparisons. His research interests include spherical
trigonometry, spatial reference systems, geospatial database technologies,
geospatial search methodologies, user interface technologies, and
distributed data systems.
